[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1105069, member: 78686"] As [USER=71262]@oldschool[/USER] explained, the downsides would be slow page loading, mainly websites where there a lot of images. Here in MT for example, user's profile pictures are saved on browser cache. Without cache the browser will have to download them every time. Actually, deleting would also lead to your SSD/HDD working harder. In my experience, Firefox suffers the most in speed if you delete cache. Chromium browsers seem to have different kinds of cache in different locations. The main one usually contains media related cache but there are other ones like javascript cache and more which if I remember correctly are not usually deleted by browser's built-in options. HiBit Uninstaller can delete most of them and there are even some more leftovers that even HiBit don't delete but Ccleaner does. I didn't look into these things too much. I'm just saying what I saw in my usage. I delete my cache once or twice a month and do the same for cookies if I remember using the Cookie AutoDelete extension. Sites where I wanna be logged in are whitelisted in the extension. [/QUOTE]
